Default Very Easy...Tires?

I have a 93...stock for the most part, besides exhaust (threw a flowmaster on her )

I have no lift kit or anything like that
tires on there now are 215-75-15
I accidentally ordered 235-75-15
Is there a huge problem putting these on the rear and keeping the 215s on the front??

Also, my a/c and heat is currently only coming out of the defroster. no matter which setting i have it on. not sure why?

So you only ordered two 235s? I've never done this my self but i knoe some sports cars have wider tires in the rear. I dont think there will be a prob.

As far as the ac heat prob that is a hole or leak in your vac system. Find you vac canister in the pass side bumper and check it for cracks now follow the rubber and hard lines all the way back and check for holes or cracks. Its not too hard to find them you can usually hear them and if you run your hand over the lines you can feel the suction if you find a hole.

thanks, yeah i only ordered 2 because i only need 2 for now...and i don't need 4x4 til winter, and by then i'll throw 235's on the front too, unless that's gonna cause an issue
looks like there's plenty of clearance on the wheel wells and it's only a 2cm increase on width so i'm hoping im good

yes 4wd with mismatched sizes will ruin your drivetrain in a hurry.

order the other 2 235's and enjoy.
